"I had difficulties with some things back then, so don't blame me."
Mr. Kasakawa said that midsummer on Linquan Street is poisonous. After meeting Jiang Wan, he understood that the poison was not the wind, but the hesitation she had hidden in her eyes, and the tenderness he handed out but was not caught.
They didn't have the excitement in the story, only an intersection that wasn't even named. Like a thunderstorm in midsummer, it came unexpectedly and left quietly, but it left a hole in my heart that could never be filled.
He thought that silence could keep the remaining warmth, that restraint could wait for a turn, but it was not until all his expectations turned into cold echoes that he realized that Jiang Wanzang's love had become the life-saving talisman of Kasa River - it was the rush that she dared not say, and the rest of his life that he would not be able to endure.
Later, every time he passed by Linquan Street, he didn't dare to stop. The breath of the past still lingered in the wind, but there was no figure who dared to say, "I'm still waiting for you." The pain is silent, it's the empty chest when I wake up at night, it's the pain I have to bear even to breathe when I think of her.
Purpose: All regrets and misses are marks of growth; all love hidden in the heart will eventually become the light that illuminates the way forward. Do not exaggerate sadness or magnify regrets, but focus on conveying the positive core of "regret is also a kind of growth" - those unspoken thoughts, unfinished rushes, and accidentally missed encounters are not losses, but opportunities for us to learn to cherish, learn to be brave, and learn to express candidly. Even if we have missed it due to cowardice, even if we have regretted it due to hesitation, the tenderness and concern hidden in time will become our strength to move forward, teaching us to face our hearts, express ourselves bravely, live up to every encounter, and leave no regrets of "I wanted to say it but didn't say it". We will grow in regrets, settle in losses, and eventually live a braver and more sincere version of ourselves, living up to every heartbeat and every encounter.
